Hi Moginraj, Thanks - appreciate all the effort that is going into resolving this. Cheers, Mark ... View more

Hi Moginraj, We have fire season in 8 weeks time.  Last year we had fires that burned for 3 months; burnt through 210,000 hectares, putting communities and lives at risk between December 2018 and March this year.  A total of 6 per cent of our world heritage was burnt covering 95,430 hectares, including 2,300ha of different threatened native vegetation communities.  Approximately 14 per cent of Tasmania's very tall forests were burned.  We spent $40 million on fire fighting aircraft.  Also lost houses and infrastructure and businesses.  It was the second largest fires in our history, and this year is not looking any better. Underpinning all the decision making during the campaign - our mapping. We can't afford to have this unresolved.  We are looking to implement the Single-machine high-availability (active-active) deployment in the near future.  We will report back how it works out.

Hi Moginraj, Just as an aside, we are also seeing when the machine in the site starts the synchronization process and attempts to redeploy all the services - if it is under load it will fail to start.  The only method to successfully start the machine is to block traffic via the proxy/load balancer to enable the machine to start, and once up, re-open traffic to the server.  It has required a restart of ArcGIS Server on a number of occassions. While in the past we have seen this sort of behaviour, not to this degree. PS:  we have not implemented the cron job yet to clear caches.  Looking into that now. Cheers, Mark ... View more

Hi Moginraj, We have a number of cached map Services.  You can see out site here: LISTmap We noted in the logs a lot of failed requests via soap to our services as we are in the process of deprecating  ImageServers and moving to MapServers. We will look at the cron job to clear the cache.  Any additional information on what the SOAP cache is and what it does? With the load on the server, it may not be possible to move to single machine site.  However we are considering Single-machine high-availability (active-active) deployment. Any thoughts on this configuration? Another consideration is 10.7.1.  I did hear mention there may be changes in this release in the manner the servers communicate with each other  that may address this.  Thoughts? Cheers, Mark ...

Hi Peoples,   We have a multi-machine site and see this message.  If we publish, or even start a service, it is followed by the synchronization of the site.   The server machine '**unspecified**' is synchronizing with the site. This will take a few minutes and during this operation all administrative operations will be blocked.   Which causes one of the machines to restart all the services.  Many times it causes the machine to crash.   I know Justin is working through this issue - anyone else got solutions?   Cheers, Mark ...

Hi Peter, Great links.  Thanks for that - it is what I have been searching for. Cheers, Mark ... View more

Hi Mody, I am starting to get that feeling. Having some issues with artifacts, which I believe are being caused due to the lossy compression which causes the edges of the image to overlap with NoData areas and you see white 'rips' around the edges.  Going back to the original tifs I see less issues.  Having to shrink footprints a fair bit to get around the issue. Looking around for any blogs or references to confirm advantages / disadvantages. Cheers, Mark ... View more
